Artist/Band: Otis Redding
Lyrics for Song: For your precious love
Lyrics for Album: Love Songs [1998]



Your precious love, now

Me more to me

Than any love, than any love could ever be

For when i wanted you, oh now

I was so lonely and so blue

That's what love, that's what love really made me do



And darling, oh, they keep saying that our love will go, now

But honey i wanna tell them

And i just wanna show them

How in the world do they know now



It won't be long, oh now, oh now

For as long as you make love with me, now

I know our love will grow wider

And so deeper than any any ever sea now



Of all, of all the things that i want, now

In this whole wide world is just

For you to say, for you to say

That you'll be my my girl, now, now



And i'm calling, i wanting you

I just keep wanting you, now, oh now

I'm wanting you, now

Nobody but you, now

Nobody but you, now



Oh, i just wanna tell you just one more time

For your precious love, now, oh my

It means everything in the world to me

Everything in the world to me

And i'm just so wild, now

Just to have you

Right on with me,

Oh now, now, now
